Gary R Harbaugh, 74 of Columbus OH passed away peacefully surrounded by family on October 27th, 2025. Gary proudly served in the Marines and the Navy. Gary spent his time watching westerns and having his daily ice-cold Diet Pepsi. The highlight of his evening was waiting on his nightly phone call from his brother Larry. Gary spent time with his Great Grandson Markey watching Paw Patrol and sneaking him candies. Gary was a simple man that appreciated order and schedules which he kept a notebook of all the comings and goings of his day. Gary has never had spaghetti and meatballs that he didn't like. Gary will be missed immensely by his family. I'll try to keep the ship straight until we meet again. Love you Dad, Grandpa, and Brother. Gary is survived by his Daughter Dawn Harbaugh, Brother Larry Harbaugh, Granddaughter Korissa Southers, Great Granddaughter Coraline VanGastle, Great Grandson Markey Moore III. Preceded in death by Father W. Elmo Harbaugh, Mother Jeanette Harbaugh, Brother Jerry Harbaugh, Sister Deborah Harbaugh.
